Elena 2011


     Elena and Vladimir have been married a little over two years.  They have different backgrounds.  Elena has a family, her son, his wife, his 17-year-old son and young son.  Vladimir is wealthy with an adult daughter who only cares about herself and her father’s money.   Elena would like Vladimir to help the 17-year-old with money for college but he thinks the teen’s father should help his own son.  Vladimir is generous with his daughter but not with Elena’s family.
      This is a Russian movie and everything must be included, a nurse changing the sheets of a hospital bed, traveling on the train, having tea.  A very slow pace and not very much is happening, slightly unexpected conclusion.  3* (This movie is OK)

109 min, Drama directed by Andrey Zvyagintsev with Nadezhada Markina, Andrey Smirnov, Elene Lyadova, Aleksey Rozin, Evgeniya Konushkina, Igor Ogurtsov.

Note:  imdb 7.2 out of 10, 93% critic 73% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
